Craftsman 247273300 tractor Parts

For a Craftsman riding mower like model 247273300, we typically find the model number on an ID label on the tractor frame under the seat, or on the underside of the seat itself. Once you have the full model number, we can match the correct diagrams and parts.

Where to look on model 247273300

Check these common label locations first:

• On the frame rails directly under the seat (lift the seat to view)
• On the underside of the seat pan
• Near the rear fender area close to the seat mounting points
• On a label near the footrest area (less common)

If you need a visual reference for your exact tractor, use the 247273300 manual.

Tips to make sure you copy the right number

Model labels can be dirty or partially worn. We recommend:

• Wipe the label with a damp rag and mild soap; dry it before reading
• Use a flashlight and take a photo, then zoom in
• Write down the model number and serial number (both help)
• Copy every digit and dash exactly; one character off can change the parts list

Model number vs. serial number (quick guide)

What you see	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Identifies the correct parts diagrams and assemblies	247273300
Serial number	Helps narrow production run details	Varies by unit

Why it matters

Craftsman tractors often share similar frames and engines across multiple model families. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct components (like a muffler, steering shaft, or drive pulley) so you avoid ordering a part that looks right but does not fit.

To tell the year on your Craftsman riding mower, we use the product identification label on model 247273300 (typically under the seat or on the frame). The serial number format varies by manufacturer and production run, so the most reliable method is matching the serial/date code guidance in the 247273300 owner’s manual.

Where to look on model 247273300

Check these common label locations first:

• Under the seat pan (lift the seat and look on the fender pan or seat support)
• On the frame rail near the engine compartment
• Near the rear hitch plate or transaxle area
• Under the hood near the dash tower (less common)

How to read the serial number (what usually works)

Once you find the serial number, use these steps:

• Write down the full model number and full serial number exactly as shown
• Look for a date code embedded in the serial (some formats include year and week, others include month/day/year)
• Compare the format to the identification section in the 247273300 owner’s manual
• If the serial includes a 6-digit block like MMDDYY, the last two digits are often the year (example: 071294 can indicate July 12, 1994)

Common serial/date code patterns (quick reference)

Pattern you see	What it often means	Example
MMDDYY	Month, day, year	071294 = Jul 12, 1994
YYWW	Year and week of year	2316 = week 16 of 2023
Longer serial with embedded YY	Year is embedded in a segment	Varies by run

Why it matters

Knowing the build year helps us narrow down the correct parts and specifications for your tractor, especially for items that change across production runs (decals, muffler style, steering components).

Parts note (when you are verifying fit)

If you are using the year to confirm replacement parts, match by model number first, then verify by serial/date code. For example, if you are replacing an exhaust component, confirm compatibility for the muffler 751P10528E.

For Craftsman front-engine lawn tractor model 247273300, the exact engine make, model, and horsepower cannot be identified from the model-specific information we have here. Many Craftsman riding mowers in this class use a gasoline, air-cooled, single-cylinder (sometimes V-twin) engine from makers such as Briggs & Stratton or Kohler; confirm yours by checking the engine ID label and the specifications section in the 247273300 owner’s manual.

How to identify the engine on model 247273300

Use the engine’s own identification tag, not the tractor model number. Look for a sticker or stamped plate:

• On top of the blower housing (near the recoil or cooling shroud)
• On the valve cover area
• Near the muffler or exhaust shield
• On the side of the engine block, above the oil fill
• Under the hood near the air filter housing

Write down the engine brand and the engine model/type code; that is what you need for tune-up parts (spark plug, air filter, fuel filter) and service specs.

What “kind of engine” usually means (quick reference)

Most Craftsman front-engine lawn tractors are:

• Gasoline powered
• 4-cycle (no oil mixed in the fuel)
• Air-cooled
• Single-cylinder or V-twin
• Equipped with a carburetor and a 12-volt charging/starting system

Engine detail	Where to verify it	Why it matters
Brand (Briggs & Stratton, Kohler, etc.)	Engine ID label	Correct service parts and manuals
Horsepower/torque rating	Engine label or manual specs	Matching performance expectations
Oil type and capacity	Manual + engine label	Prevents hard starting and wear
Fuel type (E0/E10, etc.)	Fuel decal/label	Avoids fuel system damage

Why it matters

The tractor model 247273300 tells us which chassis and mower-deck parts fit, but the engine model determines the correct maintenance parts and settings. Using the engine ID prevents ordering the wrong ignition, fuel, or air-intake components.

Related part you may see on this model

If you are diagnosing noise, exhaust leaks, or poor running, the exhaust component commonly involved is the muffler. For this model, a listed replacement is the muffler 751P10528E.
